SFMA
No two people are the same, have the same goals or have the same health history. Since this is the case, we offer customized health plans for each client, and performing a Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) allows us to thoroughly examine the body and find the root cause of your issues, giving us the best chance to help you heal, perform and stay well.
Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments are the first thing people usually think of when seeing a chiropractor, and for athletes there are definite benefits to ensuring the spine is aligned correctly, including the relief of pain and improved performance.
Kinesiotaping
Kinesiotaping, or K-tape for short, is a practice which can help an athlete heal and encourage healthy movement. This specialized tape is placed on a problem area and can help protect injured muscles by strengthening the ones around them, promotes blood flow and helps form positive muscle memory.
ARPNeuro
ARPNeuro therapy uses small electric currents to encourage healing in muscle groups. Many athletes undergo ARPNeuro therapy, whether they need assistance in recovery or injury prevention. ARPNeuro therapy can strengthen muscles when an injured person can’t work out, allowing them to heal without overexerting themselves and possibly making the injury worse.
Active Release
Active release therapy is very helpful for athletes who perform a repeated, stressful action. Pitchers, quarterbacks and other athletes can develop scar tissue in their active areas like arms, knees and the back, and when scar tissue grows together it is known as an adhesion, which can pull on the body and cause pain. Active release breaks up these adhesions, allowing the body to move freely and increasing your range of motion.
Cupping
Cupping is a very popular treatment option for many athletes, and it involves the use of plastic or glass domes which are suctioned to the skin. This suction increases blood flow, promotes healing and is thought to remove toxins from the blood.
